As you all know, I don’t like “scary” Halloween anything…but I sure do like these Polka Dots for Halloween! As a matter of fact, this is in the top running of my Halloween cards I’ll be sending out to all my friends and family. It’s thrilled to be in the top 5 and as you can see by now I’ve been sharing with you a fair amount of Halloween cards lately…tis the time for all things “spooky” and “cute,” too! This in my opinion in case you are wondering…is CUTE! 🙂 Not scary one little bit.
It’s a super fun and super easy card to put together! So here goes!
Debbie’s Details: the deets!
Card Base – Basic Black – Tangelo Twist, next layer – Very Vanilla – Tangelo Twist – Very Vanilla – Basic Black – Very Vanilla – I love layering cards. Especially when you want to make a “focal point” impression on the image or the sentiment you are using. Here, it’s the Happy Happy Halloween sentiment from the Sweet Hauntings stamp set. I know, I used it again! You are so swift to remember that. YAY! It’s just a cool stamp set because you can use a punch to punch out THREE of the sentiments from the infamous NOTE TAG punch. How easy. And delightful! I used Tangelo Twist ink to stamp the sentiment to match the card stock I used.
Dimensionals were used to “pop up” the sentiment and give “dimension!” I tied a Very Vanilla bow from the THICK Very Vanilla baker’s twine to make the card even SWEETER! So sweet.
The POLKA DOT paper is from the Happy Hauntings Designer series pack which I adore this paper this season in the Holiday Catalog for Halloween! It’s just really nice and I like the Very Vanilla, too, it’s not as bright as White and tones things down a bit for Halloween creations. 🙂
If you’re sitting on the fence wondering if you will be sending out any Halloween cards this year, because you usually don’t send out any, this is pretty darn cute and really quick to make. It really is. So, why don’t you think of it for this year and surprise your family and friends, make and send! They will love you forever for thinking of them and reminding them that it’s Halloween time just in case they don’t know it. Wouldn’t that be nice of you? Then write a sweet little note and make their day! Below are the fixins’ for this card, click on my little shopping cart and it will take you straight to the items to make this cutie for a card!
Hope you liked my card today and will think of sending some Halloween cards this year, it will be their “TREAT!” How SWEET! (I’m a poet from a former life).

Hi Debbie, I have ALL my Halloween cards made last year in a class that I never got to address and mail out. I wonder if they will make it this year! This is my type, not scary, gory or ghoulish, of card!
Have a great Monday.

Haha, you’re almost like I am, Nancy! But, this year, I have already got them addressed and ready to go! I’m so proud of myself. You can do it, too! Thanks so much for coming by here today! Hope you had a great Monday and have a nice week. It’s definitely feeling like “fall” here in Colorado these days! I love it! Take care.
